*"Lock up your lagers, put away your pales ' if you can see light, get it out of my sight."* So go the words of an anonymous scribe who couldn't have possibly come up with a better line to preview what's in store at Brisbane's [Scratch Bar](http://craftypint.com/beer/bar/the-scratch-bar/) over the weekend of July 19 & 20th. 25 different beers will be on offer from Australia and around the world, with the united factor being that they all have souls so black you might think they've been tapped direct from Hades' personal brewery. Beers will be served in all manner of ways; classic tap, nitro smooth, thrust of handpump and firkin fresh. They'll also be available in three different sizes so you can try them all and have plenty of the ones you like the most. Expect plenty of pop-up food to appear across the weekend from local foodies. Follow The Scratch's social medias closer to the event for more announcements, including the tapping schedule for the weekend.
